About Odd Jobs & Miscellaneous
Sometimes you just need someone handy, reliable, and professional to take care of those miscellaneous tasks that accumulate in any New York City home or office. HandyMen NYC is your go-to for the odd jobs and small tasks that don't fit neatly into a single category but still need to get done. Our handymen handle an enormous variety of tasks: hanging pictures and mirrors, adjusting doors that stick, replacing cabinet hardware, installing curtain rods and blinds, fixing squeaky floors, re-caulking bathtubs, replacing light bulbs in hard-to-reach fixtures, assembling storage systems, fixing running toilets, tightening loose railings, replacing broken tiles, patching small holes, installing smoke and CO detectors, and dozens more. We offer flexible scheduling with hourly and per-project rates, and our handymen often handle multiple tasks in a single visit—making it efficient and cost-effective to knock out your entire to-do list at once. Our team members are background-checked, insured, and committed to treating your home with care and respect.

When to Call a Professional
If you have a list of small tasks that you keep putting off because none of them individually justify hiring a contractor, our odd-jobs handyman service is designed for you. A professional handyman completes these tasks quickly, correctly, and safely. Tasks that involve heights (changing light bulbs in high ceilings, hanging items on tall walls), electrical work (even replacing a light switch), or tools you do not own are best handled by a professional who does them daily.

Customer Reviews
"I manage three rental properties in Harlem and HandyMen is the only company I call now. They're reliable, fairly priced, and my tenants always give positive feedback."
"Needed a bunch of odd jobs done — leaky faucet, squeaky doors, patch some drywall, mount two TVs. Their handyman knocked it all out in one visit. So convenient."
"Hired them to build a rooftop deck on our Staten Island home. They pulled the permits, built a solid structure, and even added built-in planters. Our summer hangout spot."
